Mr.. GoulTs habits are simple and he
does not hold his cane by the middle
when he walks. He wears plain clothes
and his shirts and collars are both
made Of tho same shade. Hc says he
feels sorry for any one who has to wear

day he hopes to endow home for
young men who cannot afford 60 buy q

He owes much OF his neuralgia to a
lack of exercise. Mr.. Gould mover
takes any exercise at all. His reasons
for this Is that he sees no prospect for
exercise to advance In value. lilo says
he is willing to take anything else but
exercise.
